Szechuen Kitchen

I haven't been in Soton for too long, but so far this has been the most authentic Chinese restaurant I've been to in the city. Most of the dishes are quite good, my only gripe being that some dishes are too salty. The staff are nice and friendly, speaking a combination of English, Mandarin and Cantonese, depending on the waiter.

Highly recommended chinese restaurant. A great Chinese restaurant and hotpot restaurant in the Southampton area. A little on the pricier side, at around £10-£20, however it is a great place for the occasional social dining with friends. The service is pretty fast and the staff are friendly. The atmosphere is also good and relaxing. Recommended dishes: -松鼠鲈鱼 -四季豆 -孜然羊肉

A go to for Szechuan Hot Pot! Service: the staff were really friendly and helpful. There definitely is a culture of going up to the counter or needing to get the staff's attention yourself but this added to the experience for us. The staff as well as the table next door were really kind in explaining some general rules for hotpot and the tick box menu was novel. Food: it was a hotpot buffet hour when we arrived so hotpot was on a different menu and slightly more expensive (Friday pm). We had the spicy and the tomato soup base as well as some meat, tofu and vegetables. The flavours and ingredients were really tasty and fresh and we loved cooking everything ourselves. The addition of free Chinese green tea and make your own dipping sauces was amazing too. Atmosphere: the restaurant itself was full of Chinese groups so felt all the more authentic. The way the hotpot was served all matched what we had seen in China before and we'd love to eat here again. They had a sister restaurant M'Dim Sum where we plan to go next.

We had soups with homemade pasta that were tasty and heart-warming, perfect for a rainy evening after visiting town. The restaurant offers authentic Chinese food, lots of Chinese descent clients testify to this authenticity. We wished we had room for the hotpot that looked yummy but we had late lunch that day. Service was attentive. Thank you! We highly recommend.

Delicious food! I love their pickled fish soup and crispy soft-shell crab. But my recent visit the prices went up and I am not sure it is worth the price but we are in a cost of living crisis. However the staff is realy nice and welcoming but sometimes we are lost in translation as I requested for some of our food to be packed but instead it was thrown out, but they were super understanding and very professional! This definitely a place to visit!
